The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1887-10-06

cOntlnueu 10 move ABOUT the grounds ae
usual. A good many rather enjoyed
luncheon earlier than usual In their
CARRIAGES or some other dry place, where
the patter OF the gentle shower could
be heard or Its fall enjoyed by sight
from outloOks in all directions.
GOOD ATTENDANCE, CONSIDERING.
Considering the weather the attend
ance was very large. All the morning
trains came In with extra coaches filed
with people from the surrounding
towns. The principal driVeways to the
city we're lined with vehicles. The
Stark County Fair is an established
thing, and the people Of old Molly Stark
are not going to miss the annual expo
sittOn, weather Notwithstanding. Had
the day been pleasant II would have
been safe to count the gathering at
twenty five thousand.
About noon, when the sun shOne forth,
the city people began to turn out, and
st two O'Clock there we're fully ten
Thousand people on the grounds.
The weather and the permanent
nature Of the fair, suggests the idea of
converting the show another week.
The rain thus far has had little effect
on the track. Wednesday afternoon the
double team combination pacing and
trOttiDg race took place and proved TO
be very exciting. The purse Of $50 was
divided as follows, $25 to the first, $15
to the second and $40 to the third,
There we're three entries.
GOLDBERG BROS. WIN.
The Goldberg Bros. entered Lorsin
and Lady M; Emery Miller, Of Alliance,
and A. Nunsmaker, of this city, bitched
together and Thomas McCue, Of Akron,
had team from that city. The first
heat was easily won by Goldberg Bros,
time 2:58; Miller and Nunamsker came
In second. The second heat was also
won by Goldberg Bros, time 2:40; Miller
and Nunamsker second.

tries have been made:

time on the third heat two and half
